All of a sudden, I feel like I am a whiner. Not a Wine-er, that would be more expected at this point.
A few posts back, I told you that I was having a still undiagnosed issue with my back/shoulder/elbow/arm. I'm in my 7th week of discomfort and my patience and normally cheery attitude is wearing thin. I have been trying not to take the pain killers and anti-inflammatory meds because they were really weren't dong me any good. Over the weekend, I was a pill-popper.
On Monday I visited with Cheryl, my new best friend, acupuncturist, cupping expert, and overall funny girl. After a long chat about my symptoms and frustrations, she broke out the big guns
She also have me a neck massage that felt like she was jamming steely rods into my neck and head. It was the "good pain" if that makes any sense. To boot, I am also now on a regimen of taking a Chinese herbal formula for "pain, heaviness, or numbness in the upper body and neck." Well, I guess that sounds about right. At this point, I'll try anything.
After my consultation with Cheryl, and Craig the Chiropractor, I am moving on to getting an MRI on Friday. Is it weird to hope they find something wrong with me?

Have I ever mentioned that muscle relaxers should be taken as prescribed. They build up in your system so that you achieve max results. Taking 1 every now and then, well, enough said.
OMG I feel your pain - and I am NOT talking about your arm/shoulder. I thought these things came in threes, not twelves. I'm sending energy for it to all calm down and get back to normal - whatever normal is in your crazy life.
Hugs and Love,
Barbara
